Welcome to Larisa McShane and Associates, a full-service interior design firm in Philadelphia area, where design transcends the ordinary and becomes a deeply personal journey to transform your home and your life.

At Larisa McShane and Associates, we don’t just design spaces—we craft environments that reflect who you are and how you want to feel. Larisa McShane, the visionary founder behind her award-winning, full-service interior design firm, has redefined luxury design in the greater Philadelphia area since 2003. Her mission is simple yet profound: to create homes that aren’t just beautiful but also personal, meaningful, and truly extraordinary.

Larisa’s approach is unique and transformative. She has developed a one-of-a-kind design process that is all about YOU. It’s about discovering what makes you feel your absolute best in your home. Whether it’s through timeless design solutions, unique color schemes, optimal lighting, creative space planning, or eco-friendly materials, Larisa ensures every design decision enhances your life and brings you joy. The result? Homes you can’t wait to come home to!

Larisa’s story is as inspiring as the homes she creates. Born in Russia, she earned a Master’s degree with honors in Construction and Engineering, with an emphasis in Architecture, from Dnepropetrovsk University. For 15 years, she worked on government hospitality projects in Crimea, honing her expertise in design and construction. In 1994, she immigrated to the United States, bringing her passion and talent with her. Larisa earned her second Master’s degree, Summa Cum Laude, in Interior Design from Drexel University in 2003. From that moment forward, she has dedicated herself to transforming homes across Philadelphia and beyond.

Larisa’s work has earned numerous prestigious awards and accolades, including recognition as one of the top interior designers in the region. Her clients consistently praise her ability to listen deeply, think creatively, and deliver designs that go far beyond expectations. Working with Larisa isn’t just about redesigning your home; it’s about redefining how you live and feel within your space.

At Larisa McShane and Associates, we invite you to step into a world where design meets lifestyle, where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and where your home becomes your sanctuary. Let us guide you on the journey to create a home that reflects your vision, your values, and your dreams.
